Is is a tough one. On one hand libs get enjoy, hunting and killing us, and on the other, they learn what eventually will happen to them when we fight back. Kinda win/win for both sides

[NohSpinZone]

The premise is absurd. These elitist fairies couldn’t outfight a snail.

” conservatives scored a rare victory over the Hollywood elite.”
The opposite seems to be true to me. Reminding us common folk that we are viewed as deplorables is not to the elites advantage. Showing the elite as murderers and common folk as victims that somehow manage to fight back (probably as the heroes) also seems to violate the normal play book.

Right to DVD

Yes, if The Deplorables win at the end, killing the movie is not a win for the deplorables.

In the movie, the hunters travel to an exotic vacation spot where they attempt to kill their unlucky conservative prey.

An alternative ending to the movie: The intended prey are shown erecting a large sign declaring the island a Gun Free Zone. All’s well.

Never saw a liberal themed movie which was a success. OTOH I have seen dozens of “Conservative” movies which were, such as Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” series, The Sopranos, The Godfather trilogy and on and on.

Pretty sure human hunting does happen though the idea seems to be to land the hapless victim in the loony bin. For a while there was mad stalker stuff was happening to me. I mean really insane well funded shit. I kinda figured that I was in the process of losing my mind so I should work harder so that I could afford a good psychiatrist. I kept my mouth shut so that I wouldn’t tip people off that I was crazy, and then other people started witnessing this stuff and talking about it, and calling the authorities about it, whereupon it stopped. There is safety in numbers if my experience wasn’t unique.

Not much different than The Most Dangerous Game https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Dangerous_Game
I remember reading that short story as a freshman in high school late 70s /early 80s.

NOT to be released anytime soon. Or possibly never. That’s not to say it won’t show up on the internet someplace.

Dr. Strangelove
"Reds" was a hit (though now it is all but forgotten).
So was "The Front" (ditto). "All the President's Men".
"Seven Days in May".
Taps.

Except in the novella, the general was already an accomplished hunter, elitist as he was.

[Erik Latranyi]

They made the film.....cancelling it means nothing.

If this was some “idea” floated for a script, then a cancellation would have meaning.

But it was not just proposed and given the green light....it was made and promoted and will be distributed at some point in the future.

The film will have a cult following by ANTIFA types who already see themselves as the violent wave against Trump supporters.

Sorry, Hollywood....your cancellation does nothing to wash your hands of your hate and desire for blood.

‘Yes, if The Deplorables win at the end, killing the movie is not a win for the deplorables.’

that was my immediate thought as well...

In their movies, this politically correct industry depicts liberals as heroes and conservatives as idiots and villains. Surely, more of the same narrative was in store for viewers of The Hunt.

Or not. It was a stupid idea for a movie, but apparently, it was a little more complex than the Internet stories make it out to be. If the movie has villainous liberals, what you read on the Internet ought to reflect that, rather than oversimplifying the story to rile people up. That doesn't mean it was a good idea or a good movie, but one ought to be clear about what it was.

I still say we’ll see this on cable within three months.

This isn’t going away.

Netflix would stream it.

I’m sure Facebook would be more than will to.

Oh everybody got lampooned in Dr Stangelove...Commies, old germans, libs, crazy generals, floride scares. Everyone got offended and everyone loved it because it was offensive....the one line...”Hey no fighting in the war room” by a wink wink poof of a president..has me howling everytime I watch it!

[Yardstick]

The deplorables will fight back and beat the elite hunters — so it won’t be the blatant liberals-eliminate-deplorables storyline — but the takeaway message will almost certainly be leftist. A liberal director like Blum wouldn’t do otherwise.

For one thing, the elites will probably be aristocratic and corporate rather than liberal. As for the deplorables, my guess is there will be “good” ones and “bad” ones. Some will be benighted but basically decent salt-of-earth types who may even show inklings of progressive consciousness; others will be bible thumping hypocrites and racists. Some of each will be killed in various ways to make various social-political points.

Apparently the main hero is a woman and somewhat woke. She leads the remaining deplorables to turn the tables on the elites. I’d guess the second part of the movie will basically be her making mincemeat of snooty corporate bad guys.
